Fiery Plane Crash in West Texas Kills 2, Injures 1

A business jet crashed into an alleyway in Odessa, Texas on Aug. 20, killing two people on board and injuring a woman who was rescued from a mobile home that caught fire.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) released a statement naming male pilot Joseph Vincent Summa, 48, from Bellaire, Texas and female passenger Joleen Cavaretta Weatherly, 49, of Orange, Texas dead at the scene.

Summa and Weatherly were colleagues at Pasadena-based TechCorr, an inspection service company of which Summa was the CEO, president, and founder. The company shared a post on LinkedIn, listing Weatherly as the senior administrative manager and expressed sadness and condolences to the victims’ families and friends.

Summa was remembered as “a remarkable leader with an unwavering passion that is rare to see,” according to one response to the post. TechCorr focuses on inspection services for the oil industry.
